As most of you with pellet stoves realize by now if you purchase your pellets in the summer, there is a classic supply and demand issue with pellets right now. I always buy my pellets (3 tons) in May or June for the next year. It's always been a good practice and the discounts can be very good. The discounts are not there this year due to the sharp increase in stove sales and the panic buying of pellets. I use New England Pellets made in Jaffrey NH and found this message on their website. Makes perfect sense to me.
